I read an article on the READ Act recently passed in Colorado, it says all students should read at third grade level in third grade before they can go to fourth.

Here is my "found poem"

The READ Act

Early Literacy is the greatest separator
Benchmarks logged
Interventions tracked
Strategies learned
Achievements gained
All this for policy

But what about imagination?
Fairy Tales engage
Mythology is vicarious adventure
Quiet focus in learned
As is love of story
So much for policy
